    Has anyone here gotten the m4600 with the Bluray option?

    If so, does the Bluray play well on battery power?

    How long does the battery last when playing a bluray?

    I am about the pull the trigger, but don't want to waste the $$$ on the Bluray drive if I can't use it while traveling.

    Thanks in advance!

    I own an 4600 w/ the BR writer, but unfortunately didn't try yet to really use it, I will use it moslty for creating BR movies with CS5.
    It's a tray load, not a slot load.
    Once I will look a BR movie on battery, i'll tell you about the autonomy.

    I'm really interest about model Blu-ray writer for Dell Precision M4600. Thanks

    I thought that was UJ-242. I have matsh*ta too. It' from panasonic but I don't know why it's called Matsh*ta. It's the same, both of them, but UJ-242 burn Blu-ray's faster and it can burn DVD DL, UJ232 can't burn DVD DL, but I have two DVD-RW optical drives for my laptop, so it's not problem for me. :)

    Thanks for your info. ;)

    Matsushita was the founder and original company name of Panasonic. Thought the name was phased out but I guess they must still use it for some components or something.
